I have this. My chief complaint is that is not backlit (I'm not talking RGB, I just want LIGHT). As above, I have definitely hit G1 instead of ESC before (I have nothing programmed there, so no biggie). It's rock solid and good to type on though.

I never got through the first one. I didn't dislike it per se, just ran out of steam...didn't connect with the story/world enough (bland) and found the combat a bit fiddly.* The whole thing seems like something I should/would be into, but the first one kind of left me flat. Is the second one a...

I played all the Mass Effect games and picked up Andromeda for similar money a year or so ago, and I was taken aback by how not that bad it was. I genuinely enjoyed it and would have liked some single player DLC. I would liken it to base/foundation of a great game -- they just didn't have the...

I was trying to decide between a couple and looked up price history/current sales on the titles available. Best is best ever price per ITAD, Current is best current price -- obviously current is a bit misleading, as you could always just buy 1 game in the bundle for $1 on Fanatical if that was...

I don't super follow E3 news, but I have been watching a fair amount of the trailers. Just Cause games are always fun, and I was surprised at how into the Gears trailer I was--though honestly the last one was just about long enough to put me into the mood for a Gears game, so hopefully they put...

Makes sense -- Costco is VISA only.

He is going to get buried by people who understand how it works if he really goes with this. Not that it'll matter...

Did not realize Bohemia actually made OF... I got both OF's in some previous humble bundle. I enjoyed OF: Dragon Rising, but got about 3 missions into Red River before uninstalling that crap. Dragon wasn't amazing (though I was admittedly playing it many years after release), but I liked the...

Most likely no warranty from that seller...

Looking for some input from others who have them in case I'm just being obsessive and crazy. I got an XBOX One S (White) for xmas. Due to moving etc. I didn't get to set it up until a couple weeks ago. Right out of the box I knew something was wrong with the fan. It was super loud (like I...

So I have my dad's PC at the moment to give it a bit of an overhaul and get him off Win XP etc. He's vaguely competent with computers but I've had problems with him in the past where he gets malware, installs toolbars etc. mostly due to the nature of the websites he frequents. I won't go into...

I'm on a Seasonic powered machine right now! It's been a solid unit, nice and quiet. Full modular would be sweet.

I could use the CPU cooler or case fans. Just built a new box but running stock cooling for the moment. NA

Think they are referring to this: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/135616-Russia-will-Spurn-AMD-Intel-for-Locally-Made-Processors-in-2015 Russia plans to end their "foreign CPU dependence" and switch to a locally fabbed ARM chip.

So would you say that an MSI R9 270 at about MSRP is better than a Sapphire R9 270x? Bearing in mind they are the same chip and RAM, the difference will be power/clock (and maybe binning--270 will probably OC up to 270x speed, but with the binning/cooling/power available to the board, probably...

Don't mind me, got all existential for a second. I had an HIS once, and it was DOA. Nope. What is wrong with Sapphire? Have one now, no complaints.

Ya, I've been figuring that out. In the old days I was used to getting 2/3 upgrades out of a single mobo so the mobo was generally an important piece. Last few boards I've had were dual PCI-E 16's slots even though I've never actually done crossfire, and so on--just in case. I guess no one...

AMD Phenom II X4 970 (OC to 4ghz) 32gb of 1600mhz DDR3 (4x 8gb--AMD Entertainment Edition--(11-11-11)) 2TB Hitachi 7200rpm HDD 32gb Sandisk ReadyCache SSD Sapphire Radeon 6870 1gb Asus Xonar DG Biostar TA870U3+ Mobo So I think my best bet is to take above and make these changes...

So if I were to rebuild with a new CPU and mobo, I am better off going Intel right? AMD FX-8320 seems like a pretty nice sweet spot for perf with 8 cores and OC-able from the stock 3.5ghz for only $149, but sticking with AMD seems short sighted given they aren't even on roadmap to update the FX...

OCZ ZS Series 550w 80+ This was a few years ago when SSD's were new and it was only a 32gb SSD, so that may taint my memory. I think slotting my recently spare 128gb and using for games exclusively should get me some speed and not be too much trouble. That was my take on it as well, good...

Some longer thoughts should anyone be interested: 1. SSD: Big SSD like 512/1TB that I can use for most content, abandon/curtail cache strategy, HDD. I'm not really into the hassle of small SSD boot disk, did that once upon a time. I have a 128 Samsung 830 SSD reclaimed from a laptop that I...

Struggling with how to target an upgrade or if I should just bite the bullet and rebuild. Here are my current main system specs: AMD Phenom II X4 970 (OC to 4ghz) 32gb of 1600mhz DDR3 (4x 8gb--AMD Entertainment Edition--(11-11-11)) 2TB Hitachi 7200rpm HDD 32gb Sandisk ReadyCache SSD Sapphire...

Where will I be playing nVidia's SHIELD? In nVidia's dreams!

Microsoft makes something very similar in concept. I don't care about the brand, I just meant a ergonomic keyboard with backlighting. http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Natural-Ergonomic-Keyboard-4000/dp/B000A6PPOK/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1365287777&sr=1-4&keywords=keyboard+wave

I've had issues with RSI in the past and used to use ergonomic "wave" style keyboards to help with my aching wrists. Just personal preference I liked these and found them more natural than the earlier full split ones. A couple of years ago when my computer station was setup in the basement, I...

It is really not acceptable, but probably shouldn't be a surprise...

I had a nightmare issue with Newegg about a defective video card earlier this year and when I finally reached the point of frustration high enough to post a negative review on resellerratings.com, I had "Freddy" following up with me the same day. I ended up getting it resolved but I personally...

Steam sales devalue intellectual property, but EA is against used game sales for cutting them out of profit. Aren't things like steam sales precisely the sort of thing that gets people to buy new instead of used? I realize used is less an issue on PC, but I was taking "steam sales" as a...
